Hi,
I support the idea of using command (apple) key instead of the alt key on
the mac keyboard (or if you use a mac keyboard on a pc.) One more reason is
that 'alt' is primarely labeled 'option' in the mac parlance and that should
be its major task: generating special chars. I wonder how many apps

With the 2.2.* kernel only use video=ofonly. With the 2.4 kernel the
other string is no problem.

I had things set up quite nicely: turn on the power, and im presented
with a black screen and "m for macos, l for linux". Defualt was macos
after 10seconds. Or, I could hold down option key and get icons for
the different OSs.

I guess this question is more for Michel Daenzer, but i'll field it
to the rest of the list:
In april, Michel posted deb's for xine-4.0.01. video plays very nice,
and audio stays in sync pretty well.

I found a bug in ybin.
I added a "default=" statement at the top of my /etc/yaboot.conf.
I then did a "ybin -v" and everything went fine.
I rebooted and yaboot barfed because there was a syntax error in the
yaboot.conf.
I could not reboot to my old system easily. I had to boot off the CD

I'm attempting to migrate from LinuxPPC. I would like to install from
network since I have a very local mirror. However, my beige G3's
onboard ethernet is having compatibility issues with my campus network,
so I need to use my Netgear FA311. Unfortunately, the National

I am using mplayer (mplayer.sourceforge.net) with the ffmpeg divx codec,
and it works really well.
Check the mplayer README for the URL to ffmpeg.

Hi,
Sorry if this questions looks strange, even stupid. I tried digging the
FAQ/Installation to get some answers for that, but it would seem that
PowerPC specific materials don't come out easily from the docs, at least
that is how I feel coming from the x86 side. I still like the machine better
